Sorry for being MIA the past several days ... I'm blaming the flu. I've been sick with the flu for exactly a week now - my house is a mess and I'm back at work even though I keep coughing and sniffling and sneezing.
But I'm better! Honest!
And my new favorite medicine (whenever I'm actually able to *swallow* the horse pills) is Robitussin Nightime Cold and Flu. It's like the exact same thing as Nyquil, but cheaper. I'm all for cheaper.
The nicest thing about getting better is the possibility of moving back into the bedroom. I've been avoiding the bedroom completely, since the last thing I want to do is get John sick - he's had finals for the past week! My MIL said that doing that was very sweet of me, but I told her it was a completely selfish decision. I can hardly bear to get off the couch ... the very last thing I wanted was to have to take care of a sick John too!
Still, some rather major things came up while I was sick. John took his finals ... he doesn't think he did as well on his first two finals - even though he didn't get sick, I think he was fighting something off. Plus, they scheduled the tests horribly. He then studied all weekend for his final exam on Monday - which he thinks went really well.
After the exam, he emailed the course director about some of his classmates cheating. Two or three of his classmates have been cheating periodically throughout the semester, and during the final they were blatant enough that - when the teacher stepped out of the room - they started talking to each other and passing papers back and forth between them. John found it all very distracting, which helped him to decide to turn them in. It's also incredibly frustrating when John and his other classmates work so hard to have a handful decide they shouldn't have to work as much.
As for me ... I've got big news possibly coming up. But I don't want to jinx it, so I think it can wait for a few weeks (and before anyone asks, no, I'm not pregnant. I wish that were it!).
And finally, I want to link to one of my favorite blogs: Filing Jointly ... finally. Lauren has the talent to keep her blog both real and hilarious! I think her recent post The Day Santa Claus Came to Town did more to put me in the holiday spirit than anything else this season!

Decisions, decisions ...
John's taking his test right now; he said that he felt ready for it. I hope that he does well!
After the test, a bunch of his classmates are going to a Korean BBQ Restaurant (John says that it's not really BBQ) to eat and do karaoke. John really wants to go, while I'm a bit more ... ambivalent.
First, by the end of the week I'm tired. I want to go home and get into some comfortable clothes and relax! Going out with a bunch of people I hardly know isn't very relaxing. Of course, then the arguement is that I won't get to know them if I stay home.
Another thing is the karaoke - I've never been before, but I know what it is, and I'm not sure I'd like it. Not sure why - but I get way too uptight about music. I don't know most of the music, and it really bothers me when music isn't sung properly. I looked up a list of the top 500 karaoke songs ... and I barely knew 7 of them well enough to be able to sing them. John and I were looking at some last night, and let's just say I didn't react well when John started singing horribly on purpose. I don't know why it grates so badly, but it drives me up a wall!
On top of that is the whole social anxiety deal - I've been prepping myself to go to Western Day on Saturday. That's an annual event that our church puts on. We went last year, and I had the worst attack of anxiety yet - it took everything in me to not collapse in tears when we arrived. I spent the entire time sitting quietly in a corner while John played flag football with the men. It wasn't fun.
I know I *ought* to go to both... karaoke tonight and western day tomorrow. I honestly don't want to go to either. But I promised John I'd go to at least one of them with him. I don't know what I'll do.
John will want to get out of the house and have fun this weekend; he always does after a test! So, we'll see what happens!
Happy Friday!
